《 Eighty - Three 》

The next morning, Grandma Jia went to the company instead of Yifan. The rest of the family had breakfast together along with Risa, who was oddly silent. She ate her breakfast with her head down. Lorenzo watched the woman who looked nervous. Her behavior was off, but the man couldn't figure out why. Maelin and Zhen left for school after eating, and Risa went back upstairs silently. Lorenzo cleaned up the table, and the maids took care of the rest. Yifan picked up Haoran and wrapped his free hand around Lorenzo's waist. The three went out to the sunny garden and saw Bella running around with a bodyguard playing with her. Yifan whistled, and the rottie came running to him.

"Haohao, go look at the flowers with Bella."

The child smiled and walked over to the bushes filled with pretty flowers. A bodyguard stayed close to the young master while Yifan kept a careful eye on his son just in case. The tiger sat down on the wooden bench near the garden entrance and pulled Lorenzo down to sit with him. The elder sat down and felt a heavy weight on his left shoulder. The taller man laid his head on his lover's shoulder as he watched his son play.

Lorenzo intertwined his hand with his husband's bigger one and laid their conjoined hands in his lap. "How are you feeling, handsome?"

"I'm feeling better thanks to you." Yifan replied.

"Fan, can I tell you something?" Lorenzo asked, and the tiger sat up properly.

"What is it?"

"I have a weird feeling today. Something feels off about Risa."

Yifan squeezed Lorenzo's hand and stared at the bodyguards in the garden. He nodded at them while glancing at the upper floor of the mansion. Half of the team left the garden area and went upstairs. "She might've seen the interview last night. It's making her feel uneasy because she thinks I'll find out she's been working with Jacob. In reality, I already know from the start."

A bodyguard came out of the entrance and walked over to them. "Master Yifan. Ms. Risa is requesting your presence in her guest room. She sounds distressed and isn't coming out."

Yifan sighed, and Lorenzo pressed a hand to his shoulder. "Go and see what she wants, Yifan. I'll be here with Bella and Haoran."

The tiger stood up and left after pressing a kiss to the smaller man's hand. The bodyguard walked a step behind him as he walked upstairs. Yifan's jaw was tight in anger as he walked over to the guest bedroom. Four bodyguards were standing at the closed door. "Stay at the door, I'll see what she's up to."

He knocked on the door and heard Risa's voice asking who it was. A bodyguard answered for him, and Yifan rolled his eyes as the woman told him to come in. The taller man opened the door and walked into the dimly lit bedroom. He noticed the curtains of the cold room were closed up completely, and when Yifan's eyes fell to the bed, bile rose in his throat. Risa was sitting at the edge of the bed dressed in a short black gown, hiding under it was a matching red lingerie set.

"Yifan." The woman had a smirk on her lips, stained red with lipstick. Her voice was seductive, but it only made Yifan furious. "Welcome, baby. Like what you see?"

"I can't believe it." The taller man muttered to himself.

Those words pleased Risa. She thought she had finally impressed the man she was in love with. Seeing him so speechless and frozen in front of her made her ego go up. Yifan felt his hands tighten into fists as the woman rose from the bed. Anger filled his vein as he glared at the woman.

"Surprised?" Risa walked towards the man who stood at the door.

"The fact that you would go this low to steal someone who doesn't belong to you disgusts me." The tiger said with a hateful tone and saw Risa's face drop.
